Moose Creek Trail Boondocking

Quiet, scenic spot right by the creek. Perfect for vanlife or tents. Cold, clear water makes for a refreshing (very cold!) natural bath. No amenities, just peace and nature.

Beautiful, close to freeway but only hear river

Not far from main road, summer was about 30 min from Tetons resort and good sites to drop the travel trailer then head a few miles down the road to Teton Brewery.

Site had Fire pit set up and a, bear box too.

About five clear spots, sign says 5day limit.

Lots of hiking right from site.

Great place to stay for a night (BE CAUTIOUS OF BEARS)

Great place to rest for a night and close to Jackson. The camp site is easily accessible by cars and vans. We were the only people camping when we arrived late at night.

Be cautious of bears as we arrived and found large bear droppings.

For Hiking & Stargazing

Never too packed. There’s about 6 spaces that I’ve counted to camp. Trailhead draws a lot of visitors during the day. No toilets, dumping, hookups or water. Just the stars and roaring creek. Beautiful back there. Once you pass Moose Creek Ranch, it’s a straight shot back on that bumpy road. Not far from Victor or Jackson.
